Telltale one's no good? I didn't play it cuz I never really understood the appeal of Wallace and Gromit.

If you didn't watch Wallace & Gromit when you were in elementary school or don't have a fascination with claymation, you're never gonna enjoy it. W&G rules but I guess you missed your chance.

But anyway the game was pretty slow, had obtuse puzzles like most adventure games and just wasn't very interesting. And now it's super aged because Telltale games age faster than methheads.

Realtalk how the gently caress did gilligans loving island and the three stooges get NES games but not wallace & gromit

Because those things were massively popular and had nationwide recognition, and Wallace and Gromit was a three-episode British children's show that some people had on VHS.

-the license was probably cheap
-both those shows are pretty old and were probably sold only to dads
-claymation guy and dog on the cover might sell the game on its own

i mean do i really have to sit here and make a point about why wallace and gromit would make for a better game than the three stooges

also dont play morrowind anymore, it's so bad these days but not even in the cool retro-bad way

it's like if you bought a jar of apple sauce the same day morrowind came out and opened it up right now, you'd get the modern morrowind experience

it's a good time to be a wii u owner

Remember when the WiiU first launched and the talking point was that it was good because it was the one console that wasn't just the same genre over and over only with different graphics.

And now it's good because it's putting out a bunch of platformers with different graphical gimmicks. :allears:

25 years ago they were technically impressive because they were claymated movies that had things lipsyncing and a moving camera. Other than that they're just another quirky/charming thing that an entire generation loves because it played on TV constantly where they grew up.

It's still a more accurate description than Nintendo fanboys with sour grapes reducing an entire console generation of games to "brown shootymans".

I can't get used to using a controller for WASD games, so I periodically have to just be a few years behind on gaming until my PC upgrades can catch up.

I have updated literally every component of my PC and installed three different versions of windows over the past half decade and it still has the same problem where it periodically, like once every two months, blue screens and can't find Windows at all for a day or two. It's kind of annoying but what can you do.

I said literally every component but it has the same monitor, which doesn't count because it is a peripheral.

Yeah I guess so.

I watched Bump in the Night when I was a kid. I'd wager that hasn't aged well.
